West Indies wicketkeeper Joshua Da Silva’s mother has become the talk of the town ever since he revealed that she is a huge fan of Indian superstar Virat Kohli. The wicketkeeper-batsman made the revelation while Virat Kohli was batting on day one of the ongoing second Test between India and West Indies in Trinidad.
Joshua Da Silva was constantly speaking from behind the stumps as Virat was batting. At first, it looked like he was trying to get under the skin of the former India skipper to unsettle him. However, the stump mic made things very clear as the wicketkeeper was instead expressing his and his mother’s admiration for Virat.
He was heard telling the India batsman to complete his century. And later, he was also heard saying at the stump mic that his mother told him that she would be coming to the Queen’s Park Oval to watch Virat Kohli bat.
“My mom told me on the phone that she’s coming to see Virat and not me. That’s literally what my mom said. I couldn’t believe it. I don’t blame her to be honest. She’s right up there watching,” Joshua said.

Well, Joshua’s mother not only came to see Virat Kohli bat but also got to meet him and the moment was just beautiful. Virat made sure to warmly greet her during their encounter. As the India star walked up towards her, she hugged him and kissed him on his cheek before excitedly asking someone to click a photo of the moment.
She hugged Virat one more time before the India batter boarded the team bus. And the moment made her really emotional as she was seen shedding a few tears while giving an interview.
